[squid-users] negative_t​tl not work at squid 3.1.14 ?

hi,all

  I just install squid 3.1.14 on centos 5 , and it work at http
accel mode, it can cache the reponse with right expires and age
header.

  but i found it can't cache the 404 status response (no any expires
or age header), even i use the negative_ttl setting and delete all
refresh_pattern.

  a sample config file here:
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
acl manager proto cache_object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 ::1
acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 0.0.0.0/32 ::1
acl SSL_ports port 443
acl HTTP_ports port 80
acl CONNECT method CONNECT
negative_ttl 300 seconds
acl httpwebsite dstdomain web.test.com
http_access allow manager localhost
http_access deny manager
http_access deny !Safe_ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports
http_access deny to_localhost
http_access allow HTTP_ports httpwebsite
http_access deny all
http_port 80 accel vhost
visible_hostname cache.test.com
unique_hostname cache.test.com
always_direct allow httpwebsite
cache_effective_user nobody
cache_effective_group nobody
hierarchy_stoplist ?
cache_mem 128 MB
cache_dir aufs /home/cache 1024 16 256
coredump_dir /home/cache
#refresh_pattern . 0 20% 300 ignore-reload
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

i check it over one day using debug message but found nothing, so i
recompile squid adding some debug message,
and found the cache has been store but the expires variable is set to -1 ...
so it lead to
clientProcessRequest2: !storeEntryValidToSend MISS

log like this:

first request ( no cache object )
